My Film Poster - Auxiliary Task 2

Film Poster

I created my poster on photoshop. To start off I looked at different film posters and looked at different film institutions that are used on a film poster. These are the two different film posters that I looked at to help me with my film poster were 'fFOUR CHRISTMASES' and 'WEDDING CRASHERS'.    

The institutions that I found when looking at different film posters were; the title of the film, the main characters that are in the film, when the film is being released in the cinema and the main image. I choose two magazines that the main colour scheme was red and black because these are the colours that I want to use on my film poster. I also choose these two film posters to look at because the genre of both of the films are romantic comedy.

I like the way that on the wedding crashes film poster that the actors are over the top of the main title and they are standing on the tag line. I  like the way that it is different to other film posters and it doesn't give too much away in a poster. I think that the white background makes the image and the writing stand out compared to other magazines that have something happening in the background of the main image.

The first thing that I did when I started my film poster is added the text and the institutions that I named above. I looked at different fonts for my main title on dafont.com. I choose this font to do my main title in; I choose this font because it isn't too serious and I changed the colour of the font to red.

This is the text in bright red used for my main title on the top of my film poster. I also added the names of the people in my film trailer along the top of the screen, making the surname bigger than the forename. After I looked at the title and look at my inspirations for my film poster I thought that it might look better with a border round the title writing or if I added a shadow. After I did this it looked better on the page.

I carried on by adding other institutions that I saw on other film posters and added things such as my poster and a tag line. I kept all of my colours to black and red. I also kept the title and the tag line in the same font to create links in the poster and so that everything wasn't different. I kept my colour scheme to black and red. I choose red because this colour represents love and passion.
